Day 22: Cloud Security
#30DaysOfCybersecurityBasics
Cloud Security: The set of policies, technologies, and practices designed to protect data, applications, and infrastructure in cloud computing environments from threats, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Securing data in the cloud is crucial in today’s digital world. Here are the basics:
Encrypt Data: Use strong encryption for data at rest and in transit to prevent unauthorized access.
Access Control: Implement strict Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies—only authorized users should access sensitive data.
Regular Backups: Ensure data is backed up frequently to recover from breaches or accidental deletions.
Monitor & Audit: Continuously monitor cloud environments for suspicious activity and audit logs to detect threats early.
Patch Management: Keep cloud systems updated to protect against vulnerabilities.
Shared Responsibility: Understand your cloud provider’s security model—e.g., in AWS, they secure the infrastructure, but you secure your data.
Stay proactive to keep your cloud data safe!
